How long should I have my complete Proof of fund in my account?

In the UK you are expected to have complete proof of fund in your account for 28days. Is it same for EE,?

I mean do I need to have all my complete Proof of fund in my account for a specific number of months, if so how many months?

If not, can I continue building my proof of fund and just submit my statement of account for the required months when it's complete.

E. G. my POF will be complete by August can I submit my application if I get ITA same month or do I need to keep the completed POF for some months before I can apply?

To answer your questions in a simple way... Your Proof of Fund should be complete as at the time you submit your PR application... You should also make sure that you progressively build your Proof of fund over a few months. That means you should avoid large sum inflow into your account... Otherwise, you may have to provide a logical reason, why such a huge sum is yours and not borrowed. This is because the Visa Officer will ask for your 6-month bank statement showing inflow and outflow in your account. And as a rule, the POF you show must be your money and not borrowed.

Hope this makes sense.
